Nothing at all illegal about not declaring it to UPS or FedEx however if it goes missing you may be SOL on insurance claim

Incorrect. That is illegal

Why? He owns it, ATF and USPS do not care, are you thinking it needs to go to an FFL?

Only licensed FFL’s can ship handguns via the postal service.

Very true, I'm sorry I missed it was a handgun and yes only 01 FFLs can ship USPS,I hate it I have an 03 ha ha

Road trip!!!!

Nine hour round trip and you have your gun back in your possession without risk or worry. Or maybe, your friend would meet you somewhere in the middle.

FFL down there can ship handguns to another in-state FFL via common carrier for very cheap, prolly $20 without insurance.

Many receiving FFL's around the Metro Atlanta area perform transfers for very cheap.

Yeah, the OP will need to fill out a 4473.. no big whippie-do-dah deal.

Now that you've asked in public, the answer is a resounding NO!
Use an FFL on both ends. Don't go to big boy prison over a handgun.

I know with certainty that this isn't the correct answer.
